JAMMU: The introduction of the Vande Bharat Express connecting Jammu to Kashmir is being widely recognized as a historic and transformative decision by the Central Government. BJP Spokesperson Rajni Sethi has strongly welcomed this landmark development, describing it as a major step toward strengthening connectivity, unity, and economic growth in Jammu and Kashmir.
Rajni Sethi stated that this initiative reflects the unwavering commitment of the Bharatiya Janata Party towards ensuring inclusive development and fostering brotherhood between the regions of Jammu and Kashmir. She emphasized that BJP has always stood for unity, harmony, and equal opportunities for all sections of society.
Highlighting the efforts of the government since 2014, Sethi said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Centre has consistently worked for the betterment of citizens across all communities. She noted that Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed remarkable improvements in recent years, with a visible boost in peace, stability, and development.
“The launch of the Vande Bharat train is not just about improved transportation; it is a symbol of progress and integration,” Sethi remarked. She added that enhanced rail connectivity will significantly ease travel for people from across India, making it more convenient and comfortable to visit Jammu and Kashmir. This, in turn, is expected to give a strong push to tourism, which has already been witnessing a positive surge.
Sethi further pointed out that the increased influx of tourists will directly benefit local shopkeepers, artisans, and small business owners. “This initiative will generate new employment opportunities and strengthen the local economy,” she said. She also highlighted that sectors like agriculture and horticulture will gain momentum as better connectivity will facilitate smoother transportation of goods to wider markets.
Calling it a clear message to the world, Rajni Sethi said that Jammu and Kashmir is steadily progressing towards becoming a “Naya Jammu & Kashmir.” She reiterated that the Modi government’s policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism, combined with a clear developmental vision, has played a crucial role in transforming the region.
She contrasted the present scenario with previous governments at the Centre, stating that earlier administrations failed to effectively address terrorism, promote brotherhood, or create sustainable strategies for economic upliftment. “Today, people of both Jammu and Kashmir are witnessing real change and are highly appreciative of the efforts being made,” she added.
According to Sethi, the overwhelming response from the public reflects the success of the government’s policies and initiatives. People from both regions have expressed immense खुशी and optimism over the commencement of the Vande Bharat train service.
Concluding her statement, Rajni Sethi expressed hope that the Railway Ministry and the Central Government will continue to expand rail services in the region based on public demand. She emphasized that improved infrastructure and connectivity will further accelerate development and integration.
“We are grateful to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his team for consistently prioritizing Jammu and Kashmir and for taking visionary steps that are shaping a brighter future for the region,” she said. The launch of the Vande Bharat Express stands as a milestone in the journey of progress, symbolizing a new era of growth, unity, and prosperity for Jammu and Kashmir.
